meter your camera on the sky then... or.. use WIDE instead of CENTER WEIGHED/SPOT..
if you use CENTER WEIGHED/SPOT... half-press and meter on the sky first.. then recompose your frame

want VS need.... but if got 1.. then dun haf to upgrade anymore.. YAY!!

err... setup?

HVL-F42AM
Sigma 70-200

Err... setup

Lewre using 3800k WB, resulting colder lights
FCUK using 4300k WB, resulting better color
G2000 using 4300k WB as well

what if i have two f42 and plan to sell both to get cobra?

all sifus,

i have 2 questions here which i really need ur oppinions.

1)  i have plans to buy a 50mm lens.. so i have looked around and found the SONY 50mm F1.4 n it costs RM1050.00. n someone suggested the Minolta 50mm F1.7 which is of a much lesser price RM500. i am not a professional photographer but photography has been my passion ever since i was small. Its my hobby actually.
so can anyone tell me exactly what is the difference between the 2 lenses other than the price range.

2) i have few lenses here and i don't really know why i bought it too... hahaha..maybe i was too excited playing with the lenses.. so can u suggest which lens should i let go to get a better lens.
my lenses:
a. the standard SONY SAL 18-70
b. tamron AF 55-200mm AF 1:4-5.6 Macro  (my fav)
c. SIGMA 105mm 1:2.8D DG Macro
d. SONY 75-300 4.5-5.6
e. minolta AF Lens 28mm (i bought it from a lyn forumer few months back)

currently im using A700.

Thanks

Guys ,
hv very important question here (at least for me .. hehe)
Does A700's good high ISO 1600 control and DRO level 5 are that good ?  Compare to A300/350 , Worth upgrade for ?

Arghh, shall i sell my flash and get a bright prime?
Is 50mm F1.4 make alot of difference in low light compared to using 50m F1.7?
From F1.4->F1.7 is just one stop right?
